Email TopicAfter logging in, users land on the Launchpad. The Flip Cards are prominently displayed below the Launchpad label and the current time and date. Flip Cards are intended to serve as a shortcut to the more quickly access the different modules and features in the application.
This article is an overview of the available features for each Flip Card.
Available Flip Cards depend on your User Role and the type of permissions given by the district. For example, if a user does not have permission to create assessments, that Flip Card will not be available. In addition, each district decides which feature and functions to include in its SchoolCity instance.
